Judging in Irish Drifting-Load of co*k or not?

[s13-ste]

Drivers cant give out, it in the PD rules.. Judges say is final

judges ruling is final alright but why not complain about it. yeah it might seem like your being a sore loser and moaning because you lost.

all last season the BDC had one on one time with the judges after practice/before qualifying so you got a clear idea where you are going wrong. rather than just be told the line they want to see.
why cant this be done over here

Ya you would know yourself you are right to complain but everyone would def think your a sore loser and then its a judged sport. no judge is gonna like you if you put them on the spot in front of everyone,.

Your next score would prob be zero lol

in football the ref has the final say on the day but if teams feel hard done by the can complain.
sometimes things need to be adressed and once one does it it might get the ball rolling and others will voice their opinion too

Was just thinking something similar myself.. If your in the car its too hard to see exactly how well your doing and even harder to see how your competitor is doing.. But as "teams" are begining to form nowadays, i think THEY (team members) should be watching closely if they can and if they kick up a fuss AND if the crowd seems to agree, then the judges should be thinking twice!

And as people have said before, its the crowds that the event holders are trying to increase and if they want the numbers, they need to please the crowd! The new clipping points is one way of doing that alrite, but if any judging is biased, its gona stop people attending, just as much as the shite they talk between runs! (thats probably me fecked in judging next year but the waffling and standing around waiting between runs is seriosly frustrating!)

Very true man, Horsepower means fuck all, i was running the biggest power last season(OPEN TO CORRECTION) and it didnt see me sail to the top!! Had a tough battle to finish 6th!!!

If your a pro driver and you have a big horse power advantage, no pace cone and at least a 500 meter run into the first bend then you have a massive advantage.

Its all well and good saying there's no pace cone where ever else but in FD for example where everyone is pushing big power its not an issue.There's a select few in PD with big power and the lack of a pace cone and changes in judging criteria now mean there is little or no room for lower powered cars at the top.

I was at mondello and saw it first hand, I thought it was shite as did a lot of the drivers I spoke to.Who wants to see a car come into the first bend with a 40ft gap to the chase car, its unfair for the skilled drivers in a slower car and it looks shite for the spectators.

I wasn't at any other events last year so I can't comment on the judging but I've been saying for a long time that having 3 judges in the in the same tower is stupid.They have radio contact now anyway so why not put them at differen locations around the track, let them communicate with each other and better decide who won.

At the end of the day judgein is done by a human and humans make mistakes!! Ya sure there's calls that go against ya and theres calls that go with ya!!!

I for one would not like to be pearched on top of the judgein tower tryin to decide whats what in the most competitive championship, with the best drivers in Europe!

Id have to agree with ya there eric! It suited me granted, but its shite to be miles ahead on the first bend!! Ireland was always about a level playing field no matter the power and personally i think it should stay that way!

i think that at mondello this year the judges were trying to be comedians entertaning the crowd and not focusing enough on the actual drifting,i was was standing under the tower watching a few runs and i thought it was scandellous that the two boys were still talking to each other when some drivers were on turn two and not even looking at it!!

the fact is that most guys struggle to get cars ready for events and pay to compete in them so the least they should get is a bit of respect from the judges and a bit more professionalism.ffs give them a fair crack of the whip at least.the judging panel imo should be a stronger panel and a bit more professional in their approach and let the comentator entertain the crowd.

then we would have less chance of judges getting it wrong, happier drivers and spectators.
